It was also the acid house meetup pub of history for Shooom and the like, and has an upstairs and is virtually atop Holborn. I do not drink BEER so I cannot use that criteria, to determine quality. But it is good.

Colette, the louise is a great pub, so long as there are seats - if upstairs isn't open then there might be a problem....

Suzy, Chris's Schtick is being a curmudgeon, if you hadn't noticed! There is a regular ilx gathering at a bar, every time there is a freaky trigger event.

― Vicky (Vicky), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps I should find out if upstairs will be open. Otherwise it sounds perfect.

And we can go to an acid house party afterwards.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

hey we've all got out schticks, I'm a miserable curmudgeon, while other people are shameless namedroppers.

― Porkpie (porkpie), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

People are to stop fighting on my thread.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

(xpost) Yawn. Pathetic.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll be there early too, Alba - 5.30ish, if I can make it at all.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Excellent - I'm quite excited about the whole thing!

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I've finalised arrangements in a sound file!

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, bless! You are allowed more than one take, y'know!

Princess Louise is 30 seconds from where I work, so: smashing.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

London's great after all.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Michael - that was the 4th take. I felt it was getting stale.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

can't hear it, my computer sucks: will have to wait a week to hear alba cornish's voice.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I bet he doesn't speak, to you.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll just listen to him; speaking to others, then.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

that made me laugh a lot

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I will make a point of speaking everyone. Even stevem.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

To everyone.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Alba is a very well spoken individual.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you. Unfortunately it appears I am unable to string a sentence together. Imagine what I'll be like after a few Long Island Iced Teas.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

This excites me, having never met Alba at all, but having found myself agreeing with him on the interweb much, and liking his sense of humour.

Ps - this is not a come on

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Romanian is soooo passé.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I can be there super early Nicholas. The recording is lovely.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

every fap needs an mp3, i think. although i'd like to hear the outtakes.

will be there pretty early i imagine, though i'll have to leave at around seven so will miss out on the princess louise's loos. never mind.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 16 September 2004 06:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I bet Christian Bale wouldn't have flubbed his FAPmp3.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 16 September 2004 06:43 (twenty-one years ago)

So this is at the Lousy then? Excellent stuff. I will probably do both places.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 September 2004 07:24 (twenty-one years ago)

My suggestions:

CRO-BAR.

That lovely place what went to near Waterloo.

My observations:

I tend to get lost on my way back from Islington.

I didn't think much of the Glasshouse Stores.

I have never met N. If I do, will he be my Friendster?

I haven't read every single post here, there are so many.

I would like to look at the duckies too, assuming I am not suddenly snowed under (stranger things have happened).

I am looking forward to this. I will start saving up.

My questions:

Will Mooro come?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 16 September 2004 07:35 (twenty-one years ago)

can there be a text version of the above mp3 please for all the deaf people that may want to attend (and who can't follow the to-ing and fro-ing of this thread)?

and / or put it in the calendar

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 16 September 2004 07:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Hurrah for the Lousy. Maybe a cocktail as well.

It's astonishing that Mr Miller and Mr Alba have not met, bastions of the Sinister past that they are. It will be an historic occasion, no doubt.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 16 September 2004 07:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I believe the final instructions are:

Freud (Shaftesbury Ave, opposite Forbidden Planet) from fairly early - just before 8pm.

Princess Louise (Holburn) 8pm - close.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 16 September 2004 07:59 (twenty-one years ago)

is "lousy" pronounced "loo see" or "lau see"?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

"lao-tse". London fappers are hardcore Taoists.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I might make it, but I still have other demands on my time, and it is Freshers' Week (i will be hot from the first SOAS quiz so will be unable to make Freud's, shame).

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the idea of quizzes making Pete hot

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:27 (twenty-one years ago)

It is Freshers Week...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh god I forgot all about fresher's week. Colour me bored of directing lost, hungover 18-year-olds to places they don't want to go in the first place, please.

I wd like to have a trip to London to hang out with some nice intelligent people, but I fear it won't be possible.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:35 (twenty-one years ago)

The Princess Louise will be full of ~~nubile young people in search of cheap booze~~ students as well, there will be no escape there.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i've been oversteered again...i hate you all...

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Emma and I will be on holilday. bah.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 16 September 2004 09:06 (twenty-one years ago)

you ought to get a stand-in

― the neurotic rassafrassa of harrumph (blueski), Thursday, 16 September 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

teh Hamiltons!

― the neurotic rassafrassa of harrumph (blueski), Thursday, 16 September 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

N. were you st0ned when you recorded your little message?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 16 September 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Not in the least!

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 September 2004 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

So a lot?

― the neurotic rassafrassa of harrumph (blueski), Thursday, 16 September 2004 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I was not stoned or drunk or anything. I was just bored.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 September 2004 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the whole ILx calendar should be available in a "Read by Alba" format. With the old Alan 'Fluff' Freeman Top 40 music playing in the background.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 16 September 2004 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

How old is Alan Freeman now? He seems to have been old forever.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 September 2004 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

77!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 16 September 2004 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

"And with that all important FAP on the 22nd, it's...Alba!" I loved Alan Freeman's chart rundowns.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 16 September 2004 11:52 (twenty-one years ago)

alright?
